"I myself have always stood in the awe of the camera. I recognize it for the instrument it is, part Stradivarius, part scalpel."
(Les Bouchers (Butchers) © Irving Penn, 1950)

About Me
- Christa Weil
- London, United Kingdom
- I am the author of "Secondhand Chic" and "It's Vintage, Darling", all about how to find, style and care for wonderful secondhand clothes. I'm also blogging as the Vintage Detective at Oxfam UK's new vintage fashion website. Whether it's out of a local thrift shop or a style icon's walk-in wardrobe, I love the idea of fashion with a past.
